WIENER KREIS -- WAISMANN, Friedrich (1896-1959). Typescript draughts in German on philosophy, philosophy of language, meaning, names, etc. W. many additions/corrections in ms. N.d., (after 1938 - before 1959). 2 vols., divided in 22 chapters, tog. c. 630 foliated typescript lvs. In 18 original cardboard covers. 4°. (Covers a bit dam. in places).NOTE: Notes that may have led to Waismann's work 'Logik, Sprache, Philosophie' which was posthumously published in 1976 by Philip Reclam. Friedrich Waismann, Austrian mathematician, physicist and philosopher was a member of the Vienna Circle and an important theorist in the field of logical positivism. Born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, Waismann was educated in mathematics and physics at the University of Vienna. In 1922, he began to study philosophy under the tutelage of Moritz Schlick, the founder of the Vienna Circle. He emigrated to the United Kingdom in 1938 due to the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany. Waismann maintained good relations with Wittgenstein after an introduction by Schlick who first met Wittgenstein in 1927 and did so several times before the latter would agree to be introduced to some of his colleagues. From 1927 to 1928 Wittgenstein met with small groups that included Schlick, almost always Waismann, sometimes Carnap, and sometimes Feigl and his future wife Maria Kesper. But is doubtful that Wittgenstein ever attended any meetings of the Vienna Circle proper. And from 1929, Wittgenstein's contact with the Circle would be restricted to meetings with Schlick and Waismann only. - This typescript originates from the estate of W. (Eli) Whitlau (1924-2013), who worked until his retirement at Van Stockum's publishing company. Van Stockum had the intention of publishing the work, but for some reason, they never did and eventually removed it from their archive. Whitlau handed it over to the present consigner.
